Humans in Transition

Cost pressures, competition, climate change, geopolitics, regulation, supply chain disruptions, digitalization, artificial intelligence, skills shortages, New Work… The list of challenges in procurement is long, and the pressure to adapt is intense. At the heart of this transformation are the people who must implement these changes—in their personal work environments, in internal and external collaboration, and across the entire organization. Many people fear change, volatility, and agility. Simply “bringing people along” or “picking them up”—to quote the motto of many change projects—is no longer enough given the pace of change today.
